You know, after the graduation comes the party. Same people, a more festive look, a lot of wonderful food thanks to Antica Grancia Benedettina (a place I know since I was like 6 years old), jokes and games organized by my friends and family and a lot of wine too. The best party I’ve ever had. At the end presents came: a custom made Montblanc pen by my parents, a limited edition Harry Potter bag by my friends, a pair of Chanel earrings by my high school science teacher and by family and friends also a trip of 15 days in Asia. They are surely the best people in the universe!

Like I promised here’s the first of two posts about my graduation day, this first one about the morning where discussion and declaration took place. The description of every single photo will be heavy and without a lot of sense. I simply wanna say that, no holds barred, this has been the best day of my life. While I was discussing in front of my professors, friends and family my thesis, the project I’ve been working on body and soul during my time in Strasbourg, I’ve found in me a self-confidence I’ve never felt before. I was talking about my passion: chemistry applied to medicine (I cannot tell you exactly my project, what I can say is that I’ve been working on the preparation of anticancer vaccines)and in that moment more than ever I felt that I was doing what I desire. With me there were all the people that were close to me in this path anything but easy, always uphill, with more tears than smiles, but that made me become the strong woman I am today. Watching them getting emotional while the degree panel was giving me the maximum of the score made me understand that I was also good on keeping close the right people. I think that you’ve never seen photos of me so smiley and I assure you that since that day I haven’t stopped!

Like it has to be our morning started with breakfast. Since the one we had at our hotel the day before we decided to go out to do it. Precisely at Spitteleck and it was better and cheaper! We then moved to Charlottenburg; a place that surprised me positively. I’ve always been passionate with castles and palaces (guess why, I grew up in front of one the most beautiful ones we have in Italy!), and for me nothing in the world was better than Versailles. Well since the day we went visiting this complex of Palaces and gardens propriety of the Prussian Kings I have to re-think about that. Now I really think they can go side by side on my top 10 of best historical houses. I certainly advice you to go, but once there, don’t run from one place to another, take your audioguide and listen all the stories behind what you’re seeing. Now I’ll let the photos we took speak for themselvs, pay attention at rococo details, my favorite style in art and architecture that has is triumph in these buildings.

Our second day in the capital of Germany started with a huge breakfast in the hotel that, we discovered, was quite expensive considered that it was mostly international and we both use to eat only sweet things in the morning following the italian tradition.

Here I am, fresh from my after-graduation holidays, I still can’t believe all that happened to me, soon you will discover everything and I hope also that my story will work as a guide for you if you’ll decide to do a trip like mine or maybe just a part of it. But if you remember I’ve also had a small before-graduation holiday to find the strenght for the upcoming months. I will start this journey from here. You will see a day by day of this trip, my graduation, and the holiday after it. So are you ready to jump in?

My before-graduation holiday was in May in Berlin with my best friend Veronica. I’ve been there before, when I was 18, but since she’s never been and we needed some time together after I moved to Strasbourg we decided from one day to another to book a flight and then go. It all started with a lunch in Malpensa waiting for our flight. The flight from Milan to Berlin was a Titan airways one, probably the most unconfortable I’ve ever had, at least it was faster than expected.

In the end I’ve made it, I recently turned blonde, but if you follow me on instagram you already know. Maybe adding some blue would have been nice, but I’ll do a long trip in a couple week and I’m worried I won’t be able to take care of my hair as necessary with a colour like that, so for now I will just dream looking at this picture!

Third chapter of my guide to visit Strasbourg. Today we go back to the Cathedral, but not inside… upstairs! There’s not very much to explain, the pictures speaks for themselvs, from here you can see not only the entire city, but also Germany. Prepare yourself to climb the stairs and for the wind, but the exertion is completely worth it!

As I’ve already told you, in September I moved in Strasbourg for work. It was hard and thrilling at the same time and since my very first walk there, I’ve felt in love with the city. It’s small, but really characteristic. You walk in the city centre and you feel like you entered in a fairytale with the tipical alsacian houses, the river and the bridges. What I would like to do with you is creating a small guide, in different episodes, of the best I’ve tried here. Just in case you want to visit, which I hardly recommend.

Today I’m going to show you two products I’ve received lately. One is a cream the other a night-gown. At first sight they have not very much in common, but there’s a thing: you are supposed to use them at the same time of the day! We put night-gowns on in the morning, when we wake up and in the night before going to bed. Same things with Prodigy Reversis cream by Helena Rubinstein. It’s a skin global ageing antidote for your under-eye. Don’t look at me like that! Nearly 24 and already working on wrinkles? First of all it’s a anti-aging not a wrinkle cream. What?! You don’t see the difference? Very bad! Anti aging products don’t focus only on wrinkles like a wrinkle cream, but also on dehydratation, tonicity and marks. Starting to understand a bit more? I work in a pharmacy that is also a perfumery so I had the chance to follow courses made by the brands we sell (not gonna tell you which ones now, as we are talking about HR) where I’ve learned that if you really want to fight against aging you have to start cure your skin from your 20s. This is why I’ve decided to try this product. I keep my face skin hydratated everyday, but it’s under my eyes where I’m beginnig to see less tonicity and sometimes dehydratation too. So with products like Prodigy Reversis I can start fighting against my future wrinkles. It’s actually a little early to say if this will work, call me when I’m 40, but there’s a thing I can easily say: after I put that cream on I feel like my under-eye zone is extremely relaxed and that’s definitely what I’m looking for now!

For what concerne the night-gown: I’ve received it from Ilfashionup, an ebay shop that sells really fashionable things. I like it a lot, the color and the shape make me feel like a Victoria’s Secret angel 😉

A couple of photos taken by mom. I’ve always thought that behind every portrait there’s a special way the photographer sees his or her model. It’s unique how a mommy see her little girl, as I’ll always be for her. One day I’ll be the mommy of someone and I’ll take my camera and shoot his or her portrait and it will be super special, because it will be full of my love. This is what I see in my mother’s ones. Even if we have many fights, even if we don’t see each other so much, there’ll always be something so very magical that connects us.
